d Barcelona came sixth after beating Valladolid 2-1 in the Sp

The six crew chiefs who guide the remaining Chase for the Sprint Cup drivers competing for spots in the championship round will have it a little easy Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway.They will have it easy in the sense they wont have to worry about performing any mid-race calculations on points. They will know what they have to do simply by looking at the track: Its all about whether their drivers are in front or behind their Chase counterparts.With two spots available and four of the drivers within two points of each other, only a win can guarantee any of them a spot to join Jimmie Johnson (Martinsville winner) and Carl Edwards (Texas winner) among the four championship finalists wholl race for the Cup title the following Sunday at Homestead.Joey Logano and Kyle Busch currently are tied for those two spots, while Matt Kenseth is a point behind and Denny Hamlin is two points back. Kevin Harvick sits 18 behind and Kurt Busch is 34 back. A win automatically will earn any of these drivers a bid to the championship round, with the remaining spot (or two if none of them win) being awarded based on points.Its going to be entertaining, said Logano, who could clinch a spot if he finishes second and leads a lap. Its going to be probably the closest Phoenix race weve ever seen as far as points. Its going to be a fun one for sure.Hamlin predicted Sunday night that a second-place finish should get him to the next round. But theres no guarantee. If Harvick wins -- and Harvick has won six of the past eight Phoenix races -- and Logano or Kyle Busch finishes third, it could come down to whether any of the drivers leads a lap (one bonus point) or the most laps (another bonus point).At least the crew chiefs and drivers should know the scenarios as they race late in the event. They know they will need to battle the other Chase drivers for position. And for Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Kyle Busch, Kenseth and Hamlin, that means battling teammates.Youve got to just do everything you can, Hamlin said. It will be just like Martinsville or even at Texas. We all raced each other hard but clean, and were going to go out there and try to get every point we can.Heres the outlook for the drivers going into the penultimate race:Joey Logano (third)Points: 1 point ahead of fifth Clinch if finishes: second and leads a lapOutlook: Logano has a career-best third at Phoenix (he has won two Xfinity races there), but his biggest challenge is that Phoenix was not a good track for him in March, where he started ninth and finished 18th. The best thing going for Logano is his second-place finish Sunday at Texas puts him atop the tiebreaker board. The tiebreaker is best finish, and if still tied, the next-best finish. If drivers end up with the same three finishes, whoever got the best finish earliest in the round earns the spot. The drivers currently rank: Logano (2nd/9th), Hamlin (3rd/9th), Kenseth (4th/7th), Kyle Busch (5th/5th), Harvick (20th/6th), and Kurt Busch (22nd/20th).Kyle Busch (fourth)Points: 1 point ahead of fifth Clinch if finishes: second and leads the most lapsOutlook: Busch has back-to-back fourth-place finishes at Phoenix. That might be good enough to advance, but thats far from a guarantee. He has put himself in position with a pair of fifth-place finishes in this round. The defending Cup champion knows when to step it up. Its time.Matt Kenseth (fifth)Points: 1 point behind fourth Clinch if finishes: firstOutlook: Kenseth has just one top-5 finish (third in 2014) in his past 16 races at Phoenix. He won at Phoenix in November 2002. He knows he needs to gain just one point, and maybe two, on his Chase rivals to advance. It might be the hardest one or two points he has ever had to gain in his career.Denny Hamlin (sixth)Points: 2 points behind fourth Clinch if finishes: firstOutlook: Hamlin said he thinks it will take a second-place finish to advance out of Phoenix. He was third there in March, so that makes him confident he can do it. He has finished top-2 twice at Phoenix -- both races in 2012, winning in March and finishing second in November.Kevin Harvick (seventh)Points: 18 points behind fourth Clinch if finishes: firstOutlook: The winner of five of the past six and six of the past eight races at Phoenix, Harvick goes there as the driver to beat. He has led 1,064 laps in the past six races on the 1-mile oval, so he knows he can win at the track. But one hiccup and hopes of his second title will vanish.Kurt Busch (eighth)Points: 34 points behind fifth Clinch if finishes: firstOutlook: Busch has five top-10s in his past six races at Phoenix. But even a second-place finish likely wouldnt be good enough for him to advance. The last time Busch won at Phoenix was in April 2005. He hasnt led a lap in his past eight Phoenix starts and has led a lap in only three of his past 16 Cup races this season. Thats not a sign he advances to the next round.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds.

There was also a Chelsea player at the summit of the player rankings, with Fernando Torres sharing first place with Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery after a week that saw the Spain striker belatedly regain his goalscoring form to impress the 14 voters on the panel. "Great week for Torres and Spanish Chelsea in the last days with (Rafa) BenDitez," said Orefeo Suarez, from Spains El Mundo. "The Spanish coach said Torres is coming back with him to the level he had in Liverpool." Torres scored the opening goal in the 2-1 victory over Benfica in the Europa League final before firing home the winner against Everton on the final day of the Premier League season, securing the team third place in the standings. He had previously netted just once in his previous eight matches. "He had to be under a fair amount of pressure considering his scoring troubles," said Tom Timmermann, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Chelsea edged Bayern into second place -- but the German side could be back on top spot next week if it wins the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Ribery looks in prime form for that match, after scoring twice in a wild 4-3 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in which Bayern came back from conceding three times in the opening 10 minutes. "If there was any doubt that Franck Ribery has been Bayerns most important player this season, the Frenchman put them to rest on the final day of the Bundesliga season scoring twice and laying on a further two assists in another world-class performance," said James Thorogood, of Bundesliga.com. Atletico Madrid was rewarded for its victory over city rival Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, climbing to third in the team poll and having two players -- goalkeeper Thibault Courtois (fourth) and striker Radamel Falcao (ninth) -- in the top 10 of the player rankings. "What a Friday nightt at the Bernabeu for Atletico Madrid," said Julian Bennetts, from Hayters news agency in England.dddddddddddd "They had not beaten their old rivals Real Madrid in 14 years until their incredible victory in the Copa del Rey, and they celebrated with understandable gusto." To extend the weeks Chelsea theme, Courtois is loan to Atletico from the London club, which is widely reported to be one of the many teams chasing the signature of Radamel Falcao this summer. Romelu Lukaku, who was third in the player poll after grabbing a second-half hat trick for West Bromwich Albion in a 5-5 draw with Manchester United, is also a Chelsea player. Arsenal placed fourth courtesy of its wins over Wigan and Newcastle that capped a wonderful end-of-season recovery and clinched the fourth and final Champions League berth in the Premier League. By sealing the Portuguese title, FC Porto was fifth and Barcelona came sixth after beating Valladolid 2-1 in the Spanish league. Zlatan Ibrahimovic stole some of the spotlight from David Beckham in the midfielders final home match from Paris Saint-Germain, scoring a double in a 3-1 win over Brest in the French league for eighth place in the player list. His 29 points put him just behind AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, whose converted penalty helped AC Milan into next seasons Champions League, but ahead of Falcao and Robin van Persie (10th). ------ AP Global Football Rankings for the week ending May 20.
